I'm a Lalafell, but I plan to race change when I get my Fantasia potion. I really like them, I do. I like the idea of a childlike badass thwarting giant monsters, I like that Lalafells are easy to underestimate, and I like the overall attitude of Lalafells. But I can barely see my weapon, my armor is a bit too small for my taste, and many many dialogue boxes have completely covered me.

We are the most badass race in the entire world of Eorzea. Ever seen a Roegadyn in big plate armor taking hits from a boss? Seemed easy right? Now imagine doing the same thing, but being 2 feet tall. Blam. We motherfuckers are all up in your face, stealing your babes and your moneys. But don't forget, Haha, hahaha, hahahoi!

I played an Taru in FFXI for about 7 years. I originally picked it because someone said it was good for the job I wanted to play. I didn't even like the way they looked. But I eventually learned to really love the look even if you couldn't see all of the gear very well all of the time.

At least Lalafells have legs and they are awesome. I'm playing one now as a legacy to my FFXI character.

If you already think they are cute, you'll probably never fall out of love with them. While gear might fit your Hyur great, it'll probably just feel generic after a while. When you get new gear that is obviously slightly "off" to fit a Lalafell, you'll probably think it looks adorable.

As a tarutaru player who fell for the same trap you did back in FFXI, the only honest answer is Yes, it gets old.

Some people don't mind the aesthetics later on, but 5 years into the game, there I am playing my paladin with my tiny shield and tiny sword next to LS mate who has the same gear... looking all cool and being better than me. You could just smell the judgement coming off his armour.

Or how about that Ranger that laughs at your bow? that tiny, tiny, toy bow that reminds me of Indian in the Cupboard.

I think we need to sit down and have /the/ talk, Jaia. You see. When two Lalafell love each other very much, the cuteness is too much to handle. The cuteness defies the laws of reality since reality, in any universe, was never meant to hold up to this degree of pure cuteness. And the cuteness of the two becomes so potent it manifests itself as a new form a matter: a baby Lalafell. But since the universe and everyone /knows/ how dangerous the cuteness level of a /baby Lalafell/ could be on the world, the baby takes on the appearance of adult Lalafell Since all Lalafell look identical regardless of age, this is okay. Also, as Lalafell reproduction is clearly not limited by gender, they openly support LGBT rights. Square knows this, but they're still dragging their feet on the marriage thing. I hope this was informational for you. _^

Not me. I just can't get behind any of the other races. Nothing against them, but I don't like how beastly/gangly/anime the others look. I enjoy seeing them around and adding character to the world, but I don't want any of them as my avatar.
